Today’s outfit, Day 232

Going out to dinner for my sister’s and dad’s birthday! Also, I recently purchased a skirt with rainbow kitties on it. Yesss.

Today’s outfit, Day 229

Look 1: what I actually wore today- I’ve been in this mood lately where I’ve been dressing more cutesy and feminine, but with no makeup…not sure why.

Look 2: Beach Clown! bought this dress today….$20! And it went nicely with the accessories I was already wearing. I don’t think I’ve ever owned a maxi dress before since usually they go straight down and make my hips look weird, but this one flares out at the bottom and makes me feel like a mermaid and it’s awesome. Not to mention the obvious reason that I was attracted to it.

Today’s outfit, Day 228

Something weird happened today.

As bad as it is, I’ve sort of become accustomed to getting creepy comments from random guys when I’m in the city by myself. Not that I accept or welcome it, it just doesn’t really come as a surprise anymore.
However, I was caught completely off guard today and am still feeling uncomfortable about it, several hours later.

Now back at home, I was out to dinner with my family at the local chinese buffet. As I got to the end of the buffet table and tried to round the corner to the other side, my path was blocked by a man, who stood there staring at me. “Damn, you’re beautiful.” I mumbled a thank you, and tried to get around him. He didn’t move, and continued to stare at me for a few more seconds before finally letting me pass and continuing to stare at me as I walked by.
Already feeling shaken from this encounter, my family’s next stop was to the movies, where I was then ambushed by the guy taking tickets at the entrance, who went on a minute and a half long speil about how I was “Beautiful. Really beautiful. Your outfit and your hair and your…everything. Really just a beautiful creature” while my whole family was just standing there awkwardly waiting for him to rip our tickets and direct us to where to go for our movie.

Just….why?

Why do guys think this is ok? I’m not sure whether it was better or worse that they were doing it in front of my family, and I didn’t even think I looked particularly appealing today in the first place? What is it about my greasy makeupless face and greasy grown out hair and completely concealed chest and wrinkly dress that are able to stop men twice my age in their tracks due to my overwhelming beauty? Must be the fishnets…I see no other reasonable explanation.
But seriously, if this lazily thrown together outfit (which I didn’t even feel was worthy of taking pictures of until this happened) is enough to have random guys aggressively approaching me about how attractive they find me, how am I supposed to feel safe about going anywhere while dressed in an outfit that I feel is actually beautiful?

Graduation! Hair and makeup kind of a mess after getting caught in the rain and wearing that stupid hat all day, but yeah!
